I like to think that is because owners David Gold and David Sullivan have that bit more experience in football and know there is no easy fix to their problems.

I always hear that sacking a manager and bringing another one in gives an instant lift, but does it also heal injured players? To get rid of the boss is an easy fix at times, but does it solve problems like injuries?

Sunderland sacked their manager in September, but they’re still bottom.

In fact, just about every side at the lower end of the Premier League table has sacked their manager, yet three clubs still have to go down.

You can’t just look at the manager, you have to show the experience to look at the wider situation.
